A codebase map provides a structured, high-level overview of an unfamiliar codebase's architecture. It uses specialized vocabulary to describe components and flows, helping you quickly understand the structure and cross-reference detailed architecture documents.

FSD vocabulary provides industry-specific terms for components, flows, blocks, patterns, capabilities, state scopes, and boundaries within a codebase. It standardizes architectural descriptions to help developers quickly grasp the structure and navigate the code architecture efficiently.

You can navigate a large codebase by requesting a compact guide that lists elements and their roles using FSD vocabulary. This guide cross-references architecture documents for deeper detail, enabling fast understanding of the architecture without getting lost in individual files.

Yes, a codebase map includes cross-referencing to architecture documentation. It provides direct references to architecture documents for further detail, allowing you to dive deeper into specific areas after reviewing the high-level overview of components and flows.

Yes, a codebase map works for understanding specific package architecture. You can request a high-level map of a specific package, which generates a structured overview of its components, flows, and boundaries to help you quickly grasp its architecture.
